Police calling it a possible murder-suicide, but wouldn’t specify who brought the gun to the workplace.

Stacy Palmer says his son had just started his shift as a security worker an hour before he was shot three times.

“He was a kind person to everyone he met,” Stacy Palmer said, adding that it his son’s kindness that drew people in. “[Matt] told me [Justin] didn’t have a lot of friends and he became friends with him at work. They were coworkers.”

But the relationship soured, according to Stacy Palmer, when Wells became almost like a stalker.

Palmer ended the relationship days before the shooting.

“[Matt] asked him if he would back off. He still wanted to be friends. But [Justin] was just basically blowing up his texts. He asked him if he could back off some. I don’t know if that set it off or what,” Stacy Palmer said.

The family also wants to dismiss any other rumors out there, saying Matthew Palmer did not bring the gun to work.

Matthew had a girlfriend, plans of marriage and even considered following in the family tradition of working in law enforcement, according to his dad.

“He was a great kid, great son, good athlete. Loved life in general,” Stacy Palmer said. “I miss him dearly.”
